More Canon Cameras Are Coming in 2022
Canon started out slowly in the mirrorless space, but they exploded forward with the release of the EOS R5 and RF 28-70mm f/2L USM, showing they could go toe to toe in specs and that they had no intention of relinquishing their crown for creating some of the most extreme and innovative lenses.

Canon has made a few development announcements regarding the upcoming EOS R3, dropping some specs that underscore just what a powerful camera it will be.

Canon Is Planning an Ultra-High-Resolution Mirrorless Camera
The Canon 5DS and 5DS R were notable for offering 50-megapixel sensors at a time when that was an extremely high resolution for a full frame camera. Nowadays, 45-50 megapixels is much more common on higher-end camera bodies, with full frame options topping out at 61 megapixels. It looks like Canon plans to eclipse that figure by a significant amount with a new camera, however.
Canon Looks to Make 2023 the Year of APS-C
When Canon got serious about mirrorless camera and lenses, they put all their attention into developing full frame options.

It looks like those users will be happy in 2023, with more APS-C cameras and lenses on the way.
